Later, while working in the U.S. Embassy in Uruguay, he assisted in building that country's newly established mission. In 1949 Harold was called back to Argentina to serve as a mission president. After his time as a mission president, he completed a degree in political science at BYU and then doctoral studies at Harvard. |

He served as president of the first Spanish-speaking stake of the Church during the 1960's, as Regional Representative to Mexico and Central America during the 1970s, and as the first president of the Mexico City Temple in the 1980's. |
